Labor and employment law is complex and subject to frequent, often dramatic, change. A myriad of laws and regulations — sometimes conflicting in terms and purpose — impose a heavy compliance burden on employers. There also is a plethora of state, federal, and administrative agency decisions that construe these laws, adding to the burden on employers. For these reasons, they can be very difficult to resolve. With over 50 years’ experience, our attorneys and staff are skilled in the complexity of employment litigation.

Commercial Litigation applies to virtually any dispute that arises within the context of business.
